Wall Furring Cost

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Construction estimating unit cost for 1x3 furring strips
applied to a first story masonry wall using .22 cartridge
nails. You can use this assembly for application of new
furring strips over brick or masonry walls.

NOTE-- This is a variable-height unit cost that
multiplies some quantities by the actual first floor
wall height (from the Basic Dimensions screen) and 1st story
stud spacing (from the Structural
Dimensions screen).

7 feet of furring strips per foot of wall plus a few
shim shingles and .22 cartridge nails.

Suggested Quantity

Goldenseal suggests the length of exterior first story
walls from the Basic Dimensions screen.

Pricing

Based on job costing data from several urban remodeling
projects done by Turtle Creek Construction.

HINT-- We installed some of the projects with hand-driven
masonry nails in cinderblock or brick walls, which has
a slightly higher labor cost and a slightly lower
material cost. For estimating purposes
the price difference is not significant.
